First off, congratulations to Ingrid Schaffenberg on her first TV hosting job! Right now, Ingrid is painting New York red at Thrillerfest, but she took a moment to share how letting go has helped her in her life. Dreams Really Do Come True

Heather Konik gives us her 8 Reasons Why ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Isn’t for Me. This lady is a hoot, and I think we should all encourage her to write her own Fifty Shades of Khaki. Be sure to watch the video at the site. Who knew Selena Gomez could be so funny?

Playing with my Poll Daddy today, which sounds totally wrong, but I didn’t name it. The point is that I have a few questions for you. Since it’s election season, I wrote them in the style of campaign writers.

Strangely enough, so can I. You know those little silver vial pendants you can have your deceased’s ashes put in? Perhaps they need one shaped like a Starbuck’s cup. Silver, gold, or a nice coffee-colored bronze.

I don’t drink coffee, either, but I sometimes lurk in Starbuck’s to write when my teens are being loud at home. When I was a secretary, I was often asked to make coffee when I would first start a job. I said nothing. Just did it. Since I don’t drink it, I had no idea how to make it, and I worked that to my advantage. I was never asked twice. 🙂
